Obama: Entitlements ‘Do Not Make Us A Nation Of Takers’

[John2]

19. THe GOP's

philosophy is hypocritical. Their notion is some people are not entitled to anything because they are takers and free loaders. They believe only the wealthy are privileged to have a good life because they are the smartest and work hard for it.

They do not believe in science and do believe some people are inferior. Apparently I get the feeling they believe this country would be nothing without them. That is not the case though. They did have help to succeed in this country. Mitt Romney for example cannot say he didn't get help from his parents. His parents got help from the U.S. Government yet he tried to down play it. Businesses and corporations have gotten help from what the U.S. government and our society allows individuals to do.

From the time this country became a nation, the U.S. government provided armies to protect settlers and allowed them to acquire new lands in territories acquired by the U.S. government. They did not defeat the Indian nations on their own. So the whole theory that people claim their parents built something on their own is false. And some people's descendants did not have the same opportunities in this country as other people's descendants. It is a total misconception of this country's history. And I wish people will stop putting the original founders of the constitution's words on such a high plane.

The original Constitution is not the present Constitution because it has been changed in stages. One of the most significant changes was during after a deadly War that saw over 600,000 Americans lose their lives over the right to secede and slavery. The Constitution was amended and every new citizen of this country need to learn that. They need to stop listening to racists and supremacists because African Americans have been a big part of building this country into what it is. They have fought in every War this Nation has had. An African American is just as American as a white person or man.
